What Western New York Healthcare Education does

Western New York Healthcare Education (WNYHE) is a for-profit, AHA-certified healthcare training provider founded in 2020 and headquartered at 3121 Clinton Street, Building B, Suite 1 in West Seneca, New York. The company offers American Heart Association (AHA) certification courses, including ACLS, BLS, PALS, and Heartsaver CPR/First Aid, primarily through instructor-led in-person classes at its single training facility, with private onsite training available for hospitals, schools, businesses, and teams. Its training stack combines AHA curriculum with hands-on practical instruction and Bluetooth-enabled CPR mannequins that provide real-time feedback on compression depth, rate, and timing, and the company issues same-day certification via official AHA eCards.

WNYHE makes money through three primary revenue streams: per-seat course fees for ACLS, BLS, PALS, CPR, and First Aid training (one BLS class observed at $60); hardware sales of AED equipment and supplies through its online store at store.wnyhe.com; and subscription-based continuing education (CME/CEU) courses delivered through its learning management system at lms.wnyhe.com. Pricing is largely not publicly disclosed; courses are bookable online and private group training is quote-based. The customer base spans healthcare providers (nurses, physicians, paramedics), businesses and organizations needing workplace safety training, schools and universities, government and first-responder agencies, and community members, with named accounts including Kaleida Health, University at Buffalo, Buffalo Bills Stadium, and local fire departments.

The company has 1-10 employees and is privately held with no disclosed funding, investors, or parent company. It carries a 5.0-star rating across 719 Google reviews, which drives its primary marketing motion of website booking supplemented by local SEO and word-of-mouth referrals. Operating scope is regional, covering the Western New York cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Lockport, Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Amherst, Cheektowaga, and Williamsville.
